If the ACN government wants to make the zone ungovernable, we will assist them to make it so.'We will not accept any treatment that makes our members second class citizen in their own country. We will continue to fight for our rights and ensure that justice is done at all times as enshrined in the constitution of the country,' he said.He explained that in other to ensure that PDP members do not suffer any form of maltreatment in the hands of the ACN members, the PDP would set up a legal department and a legal committee that would take up any legal matter that involved any of the party members.
